Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

eviction laws, renter's rights

Today (6-28) my landlord's mom came to the door and she informed us that her son wants us out so he can move in. She told us we had to get out by (7-31). My question is does he have any right to do this? Do we have any rights? Thank you for your time.

Re: eviction laws, renter's rights

Without a written lease for a term you have

little protection against termination

A month to month tenancy may be terminated

at will for no reason at any time as long

as 30 days notice is given prior to the

start of the last month

So, notice on 6-28 for 7-31 is valid

Your only hope is that it was not in

writing Some Courts require this, and

this could buy you an additional month

After that, you do lose and you have no

recourse
